I’m having a tough time deciding whether to buy dropbox stock. On the one hand, looking at box, that stock has definitely surged from when it originally went IPO a few years ago, but it also crashed precipitously before it’s rise. Will dropbox face the same fate? On the other hand dropbox is profitable, which would make it one of the few SaaS stocks in that category. On the other hand, Google Drive, AWS, and azure compete with it, and I’m not sure what dropbox is differentiating features are? Dropbox is near its opening low today. In other words, it IPO at $21 and the stock rose 35% when it was open to retail investors

    Why anyone use dropbox instead of all other competitors? Buy a stock where you believe in the future of its product

    • I use Google drive too and it never happened to me. Are you a power user?

    • Git repo is a very intense usage case so I think yes. Also, Google sometimes forgets to upload your photos or starts uploading them with quality downgrade, very unreliable to my opinion. There were cases when Google just deleted photos, they had this bug around there years ago.

    Dropbox has a good product, but it’s still in a commoditized space when compared to box, Google Drive, AWS, and Azure. I don’t know what the difference Acacian is except for the fact that they are profitable, and are probably one of the few SAaS companies to be profitable.

      But only one stock can really win in the enterprise. It’s either box or dropbox. But then you also have office 365 in Google drive who have way more cash to overtake the market. So how do you reconcile that ?

      I’m not sure who will win in the enterprise space.

      Dropbox has a lot of very smart people, and is expanding their product portfolio (eg Paper).

    I really can't understand what do people see in Dropbox. Who thinks they can have a future?

    I think Dropbox is a good buy. Donno how many years it takes. But it’s a good buy.

    The paper is so better than g suit or 365.
